I mean, the combat unlock and vortex essence should help you to get to the next jump a lot faster though
1 boss: Salvaging & Reforging unlock - 2 bosses: Buildings persist through portal jumps (This is were the game really speeds up, but not really) - 3 bosses: Loadouts unlocks. This is where I am at currently. I wish there was more information about the unlocks. Currently I need to portal jump 33 times with 3k essences each for the next upgrade (100.000 vortex points) I don't know what the 4th boss will unlock and frankly it is unnecessarily boring, clicking the same button 50 times to form body and portal jump almost instantly. This game needs a "buy all form bodies if you meet the requirements" option just like it has with obliterations.
